I forgot another possible notation: if the lower voice has only few 
notes as in your example, you could write “8vb” without a bracket.

Here are all three suggestions for both voices on one staff, this time 
with your original example code: (the exact usage of \voiceOne, \stemUp, 
\slurNeutral etc. should be checked in context)
